Missing dep for dbm python bindings
Comment 1 Sven Wegener gentoo-dev 2005-08-29 09:39:55 UTC
The dbm module is part of the python package. I commited a patch yesterday to
change the code to anydbm. The original code uses dbm to create and anydbm to
read the database. Although this should be working I consider it wrong to assume
that a database created by dbm can be opened by anydbm.  For me dbm creates a
db-1 type database, which can be opened by anydbm using the bsddb185 module, but
that module is not build with a normal python installation. And using anydbm
doesn't require any additional dependency because python provides a
slot-but-simple implementation in cache no db/gdbm is available.

Was unable to compile it until 0.4 which is now in portage.  Not sure what fixed
it, but it works now.  Since the old version is no longer in portage, marking
the bug as fixed.
